Employee Appreciation Day Is Coming

We have been talking about the importance of bridging the Appreciation Gap for years.  What is the Appreciation Gap?  Most employers, leaders, and entrepreneurs believe they are showing their team appreciation.  But studies show that most employees don’t feel appreciated or valued.  That creates an “appreciation gap” that leads to dissatisfaction on both sides.

And while there are plenty of ways to show appreciation, Employee Appreciation Day is right around the corner.  It might be time to step up and show your team you care with some amazing branded merchandise.  And if you like any of these, we have created a shop you can check out right here.

Employee Appreciation Day is the first Friday in March and it gives a formal “excuse” for you to show your team how much they mean to you!  So here are a few really cool items to help you show up as a hero on Employee Appreciation Day!
